Re: Darwin's Christian
Cool. Last third of your introduction video became really infested with 'ums'. Your second video shows much improved delivery and eloquence.
First video - You establish that creationism doesn't work because God intrinsically works by and through rules. Then you make and recognize the contradiction of Jesus performing miracles and rising from the grave as going against said rules and natural laws. To compensate, you say that God can break his own rules. Naturally, this then can be reapplied to your initial argument, rendering your evidence moot. Afterall, if he broke it with Jesus, why couldn't/wouldn't he do so with creationism?
I'm not saying you're wrong, per say, just that a contradiction is a contradiction. For your stance to convince more than the choir, such a flaw needs to be better addressed.
EDIT: Typo fix.

Re: Darwin's Christian
It's a little more than that. God COULD have created the world in six days because he has the power to do so, but the vast amounts of evidence we have shows this not to be the case. We don't have any eyewitnesses to the creation of the universe, we just have one chapter of the bible written thousands of years after the supposed date of creation.
Conversely, we have a multitude of eyewitness accounts of Jesus' miracles, crucifixion, and resurrection, by people who were there and saw it happen themselves.
